Acropolis View

This is the view from the Acropolis museum balcony. There's a restaurant on it, too, so you can sit and enjoy it for a while.

 

Pella

We went to Pella earlier this month as part of our road trip to Greece. The place is -huge-. Most of it has been reburied. Pella was the birthplace of Alexander the Great and capital of the Macedonian empire. Until the Romans destroyed it in the 150's BC. Because they destroyed it at that time, it's still relatively intact. Pella is why they know so much about Greek daily life from the period.
 

Panellinion

This restaurant was in walking distance of our apartment and was recommended by our tour guide. The did have a lot of fresh ingredients and it tasted good. 

 

Models And Figures

These are models and reconstructions of items found around the Acropolis. The small things are definitely real. Big? Maybe. But they were all damaged.

 

More Panorama Restaurant

While the food was overpriced, it was still good. And it was served pretentiously, too.

 

Acropolis Museum

The Acropolis museum lies at the base of the hill the Acropolis is on. There are ruins under the building itself, and they are visible through glass floors.

 

Baked Gift

Our landlady in Meteora gave us these beautiful little tarts to celebrate her father's saint's day. They tasted great, too.

 

Thessaloniki Ethnological Museum

 

The museum is small, but it's got a good story and is pretty packed with textiles. It's definitely worth a visit.
